¿Question #1004?
game_boy: How did you choose your avatar?

ChrisMcLegless: I don't have an avatar.
Narl: Random elimination.
Randy Cox: I chose the boxtop from a favorite game from my youth--Sports Illustrated Baseball. Then one day, I made a collage of lots of GQers avatars and that (including my original) became my new avatar. Is it time for me to switch back?
DasViktor: something I made
Silverleaf: don't have one, never will
pwilz: Well, I needed something small and simple. I was able to find a New Orleans Saints logo quickly. That was about it.

Blade Spirit: Nice question. At the moment, b/c I found the picture while looking for a desktop background and liked it. :P (2-16-08, not that it matters that much. In the long run I will never remeber what pic I have on at the moment anyway, but just for reference.)
DKahnt: dogs
aleo09: it looked cool
foxxdye: I find a picture that defines me. (The little dragons from Bubble bobble)
DHEK: I had a picture of a crippled meeple that I felt needed using, but I didn't know how or where to use it... so that's how it eventually ended up as my (temporary) avatar.

xandryyte: I wanted something to merge my two obsessions together, so I choose my little cave house from my plot of land in English Town on BSW...

LudesFactor: well, i haven't yet, and if you'll bear with me i'll try to tell you my sorry little tale, i once did have enough GG to buy an avatar but i was also really close to a geek-badge, and well, i thought that might be a little cooler and i also didn't have any notion of what my avatar might be, but i've since given enough GG away that i can no longer afford even the avatar, but there are a few people who still haven't paid up on the NCAA pool we had here, and that would probably be enough for the avatar, because now that i don't have enough GG, i do have plenty of avatars that i've either made or downloaded and ideas for more, so there, thanks for listening

djflippy: It's a counter from Titan, one of my favorite games as a child.
wtrollkin2000: Tremendous Troll from Magic Realm because (1) I like the game, and (2) because my email is Wormy Trollkin (which in turn was from an old online RPG)
